• Romans 11:11: I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.
  
  
• Romans 11:12: Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration bring?

• Romans 13:10: Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

• Romans 14:7: For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself.
  
  
• Romans 14:8: If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
  
  
• Romans 14:9: For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that he may be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
  
  
• Romans 14:10: But you who eat vegetables only - why do you judge your brother or sister? And you who eat everything - why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

• Romans 14:21: It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything that causes your brother to stumble.
  
  
• Romans 14:22: The faith you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

• Romans 15:15: But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God

• Romans 15:28: Therefore after I have completed this and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set out for Spain by way of you,
  
  
• Romans 15:29: and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ's blessing.

• Romans 16:17: Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!
  
  
• Romans 16:18: For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of the naive.
